Crafty Christmas in July Entryway and Front Door
Begin with creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment guests approach your home by focusing on the front door and entryway. We all know that first impressions are crucial, so why not make them unforgettable? While wreaths alone are lovely, there’s an undeniable magic in incorporating additional decorations into them.
Whether you have a collection of cherished decorations you enjoy attaching to your wreaths or you’re eager to try something fresh and exciting this year, our Christmas Craft blog is the ultimate source of inspiration. Fill your wreath with an array of ornaments, sprays, picks, and flowers, and don’t forget to string some fairy lights though for that extra-magical touch.
We take great pleasure in crafting wreaths for every occasion, and one of our top recommendations for a creative Christmas in July celebration is to utilise trendy wreath plaques.
Last year, we enjoyed witnessing a surge in customers expressing their creativity through DIY wreath-making. Our Sweet Gingerbread Wreath craft project, in particular, garnered immense popularity and became a favorite among fans. There’s no singular way to decorate a wreath – the only limit is your imagination.
Easy Christmas in July Buffets and Consoles
Who says you must wait until December to enjoy the festive spirit? Christmas in July is the perfect excuse to embrace the joy and warmth of the holiday season, especially during the winter months. Plus, most people don’t particularly like decorating their Christmas trees and hanging stockings during July, but fear not! There are other areas of your home that can easily be transformed into a festive wonderland: your console or buffet tables.
In fact, since most hallways feature console or buffet tables, these surfaces provide an excellent opportunity to showcase your creativity and bring the holiday cheer to every corner of your home. Get started by adorning these tables with festive tablecloths, runners, or placemats in vibrant reds, greens, and golds. These colours instantly evoke the Christmas spirit and set the stage for your holiday-themed decorations.
Now, let’s talk about one classic Christmas tradition that everyone loves: building gingerbread houses. But what if you can’t find the real thing in July? No worries! We have a fantastic idea for you: the Peppermint Candy Christmas Gingerbread House. These delightful and whimsical creations will make your home feel warm and cosy while inspiring a sense of nostalgia.
But we’re not done yet! To keep the vibrant look going, consider adding a selection of fake bakes to your buffet or console tables. These artificial treats will not only sweeten your home but also serve as eye-catching decorations. Place them on festive trays or cake stands, and watch as they become the centrepiece of your Christmas in July display.
With easy Christmas in July buffets and consoles, you can effortlessly transform any space into a festive masterpiece. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply want to enjoy the festive ambiance yourself, these decorations will surely bring joy and warmth to your home.

Simple Christmas in July Tree
If you don’t feel like decorating with a large Christmas tree, there are plenty of alternatives that can work just as well to infuse your space with festive cheer. An inexpensive and effective way to bring Christmas into your home is by incorporating tabletop Christmas trees. These require minimal effort and time to set up, and with a range of colours and styles available, there’s bound to be a tabletop tree you will love!
To achieve a classic Christmas look, we suggest a variety of tabletop trees in traditional red and green hues. Our selection of silver, white, and snow-tipped trees is perfect for creating a Winter Wonderland ambiance. For those embracing a pink Christmas style, pink or rose gold tabletop trees are the perfect finishing touch to your décor.
Perhaps you have a tabletop tree stored away from last Christmas and would like to include it as part of your Christmas in July décor. Even if you’ve decided upon a different style from last Christmas, there are ways to revitalise your tabletop tree to embrace your new décor, such as by adding fairy lights, tree decorations, or baubles. Being reasonably small and versatile, tabletop trees are perfect to bring cheer to smaller rooms in your home, like your office, bathroom, or reading nook.
Christmas trees are a versatile and necessary addition to any Christmas in July celebrations. After all, you can never have too many Christmas trees!
With a wide selection of tabletop trees and tree decorations available to purchase on our website, decorating your home for Christmas in July can be a simple task.
